I obviously meant "work with it" not work in general. And as for old, I'm 47. I've been programming since I got my first C64 in 1985.

Bikers (my dad was one) used to be that. The culture has been almost entirely taken over by MAGA.

And I’d really like for Gemini to be as good or better, since I get it for free with my Workspace account, whereas I pay for chatgpt. But every time I try both on a query I’m just blown away by how vastly better chatgpt is, at least for the

I’ve done this as well. I’m only making twice what I was 30 years ago at 18. (Though to be fair, I was making a ridiculous amount of money for a 18 year old - my first job was in the Qwest network operations center.)

Not the same one all that time, but I've always exported/imported when I have changed. For the same reason, I have every email I've ever sent or received, going back to my 1988 FIDOnet account.

As a very small (like, two digit spend a month) AWS user, I still have gotten a human to help me when I've needed one. Amazon is amazing to be a customer of. Just not an employee of (not one, know many).

Exactly. I give services like this - generally coded as someone's first "wow I know PHP now!" or the modern equivalent - approximately 5 years shelf life, at best . Whereas I have notes-to-future-me on my calendar that I put

Not for quite a lot of people it isn’t, no. I’m guessing you’re over 35 (as I am). I know plenty of people in their 20s whose entire online life is centered on Reddit. They make hundreds of comments a day. It’s where all of their social int

Possibly, but given it can also read my handwriting- which is much, MUCH worse than Boole’s - with better accuracy than any human I’ve given it to- that’s probably not the explanation.

Copyparty is an absolutely incredible tour-de-force and has an absolutely insane feature set. But if you want something rock solid that probably solves your actual problem, I'd recommend looking at rclone - specifically the 'rclon
